Bookshelf Speakers with “Big” sound?
I second the Von Schweikert VR-1's. Great sound for a great price!Joe in Mobile 
How would you compare these two Vandersteens?
Thanks for the responses. I am going to have to see if can get a chance to listen to the quattros here locally in Mobile, Al.Joe in Mobile 
Anyone experience/have info re. Arcam FMJ AVR 600?
I did think it was a bit over the top, but I will give one a listen. I really liked the parasound I listened to. I am waiting to hear either the C3 or HDP70 paired with an A51 amp. That will simplify my decision process. Anyone heard them yet, mea...

Here I had convinced myself to go with parasound separates and now this comes along! There is a local dealer with arcam so I will have to check it out when it comes in stock. Life is never easy.;)Joe in Mobile

What type of material did you order to use as grill cloth? How much material did you use? Were you satisfied with the end result? Was it easy to do as a diy project? If you can think up any other questions I should ask, please feel free to answer ...

Hi Dhel, Beautiful set-up you have. I am not sure how my wife will react as this will be in the living room. I'm hoping the sound will convince her. A couple of questions for you; 1) You don't think the wattage of the amp mattered, yet they sound ...

So Dhel, you think the 250w per ch vice 125w per ch made that much difference? I am leaning that way also. Just looking for confirmation? Did you use a sub with yours? If so, what type? thanks. Does the wife like the looks of them?Joe in Mobile 
Advice on speakers?
Thanks on the info. Please feel free to providing me with more ideas. I will look into the separate amp ideas for stereand home theater. I am only planning on 5 channel anyway. Maybe a 2 and a 3 channel? I will look into the Mirage also. I listen...

Are you saying the cause for the muffled sound was the B&K or the speakers?Joe in Mobile 
Advice on speakers?
Thanks for the input. I agree about being being able to listen to them. The problem is that here in Mobile, AL the selection is very limited. I may have to finally decide by looks and reviews. Joe in Mobile
